I am writing to you to inform you that Sandra Ung’s Republican challenger illegally obtained an absentee ballot in my name. As I was made aware of this by Ms. Ung’s office, I was prepared to go vote by affidavit. However, on Election Day, a representative from the Republican’s campaign came to my home. She directed me to bubble in her candidate, and asked that I sign an envelope, claiming she would be delivering my ballot to the Board of Elections. I was able to take pictures of her pointing out where to bubble, as well as numerous photos of her face. I was finally able to get my ballot and asked her to leave. I’m not sure where to send this evidence. I read your article indicating fraud during the primary, but thought you should be aware it continued in the general election.

Fair shares for Jersey

Dear Editor:

Here’s a solution to resolve “Fort Lee Mayor Sues Over Congestion Tolling” (Michael Gannon, Nov. 9, multiple editions). Gov. Hochul and MTA Chairman Janno Lieber should offer New Jersey Transit, the Port Authority, and the Port Authority Trans Hudson subway a fair share of revenues generated by tolls Garden State residents will be paying. Share 5 percent each with NJ Transit, the Port Authority and PATH. This will still leave the MTA with 85 percent of toll revenues. Share some of the $130 million in environmental mitigation funding for the Bronx and Staten Island with Fort Lee, NJ.

These dollars could help finance New Jersey’s share of the $16.8 billion (two new Hudson River tunnels and rehab of existing tunnels) or $39 billion full-scope Gateway Tunnel, $10 billion Port Authority 42nd Street Bus Terminal, NJ’s share of $8 billion Penn Station improvements and other transportation improvements beneficial to NJ and Fort Lee residents. Thousands of New Yorkers are reverse commuters traveling from Penn Station, Herald Square, Port Authority George Washington and the 42nd Street bus terminals via bus, rail and PATH, to jobs, schools, sports stadiums, entertainment, Newark Airport and other NJ destinations. They benefit by NJ Transit, Port Authority and PATH capital investments.

Assault guns gotta go

Dear Editor:

Mass shootings happen so frequently in the United States that we no longer find them shocking. How many more must we endure before demanding sensible gun control laws? We should certainly be ashamed that guns are the No. 1 cause of death of children in the United States.

The federal government is prohibited from maintaining a national registry of gun ownership, but it is estimated that an astounding 24
